Did anyone get accepted into Tinker Airforce base in OK City? / did anyone interview there and not get accepted?

I interviewed for it, but got the vague dismissal email yesterday. Still holding out hope for second round draft picks for any of the facilities I interviewed for though.

I interviewed there but got the award elsewhere. My SMART discipline on my application was Industrial and Systems Engineering but my program is Systems engineering and it sounded like they were looking for more of an industrial person. I also didn't have this area listed in my preferences.

Where did you end up trying? / had you interviewed them or did you just get them?

I ended up with AF HQ in DC. I also interviewed with them. They were looking for an operations research analyst which is more in line with my work. In total I had about 5-6 interviews with different SFs across all the branches.

No, and it wasn't any of my choices either. I'm an electrical engineering major. The other two facilities were in NM, and they were more in line with my career path--Tinker interviewed me for software development.

I interviewed with Tinker only. It was unclear if I was recommended. My error message changed after the budget increase last week, and my school, which is very small, had 1 awardee listed. I got the vague email with no award as of now.
